Mishandling and damaging rented cars landed a father and son in hot waters, whom the Court said should pay the car company nearly BD 3,000 against repair costs and to settle unpaid traffic tickets.
Owners of the car company, who sued the father-son duo, also told the Court that a cheque paid by one of the defendants also got bounced when produced for collection. The father-son duo also failed to defend the accusations levelled against them or attend the court proceeding.
Accepting the evidence filed by the car company, the Court ordered the father and son to pay BD2,887 to the rent-a-car company. Incidents leading to the case started with the father and son signing a long-term lease agreement for two cars owned by the company.
